Looking to pick up the "mini" samsung but want to upgrade to more RAM. Can anyone tell me if there are 2 slots for a 1GB each or do i need to pick up one 2GB card? I thought i saw somewhere someone was saying they upgraded to 4GB which led me to believe it could take up to 2-2GB cards...but wasnt sure. Anybody know anything?

I would be so curious and interested to know what your other computers are that do not 'compare' with the Samsung - are they netbooks or ultraportables? If so, what exactly makes the Samsung better? Could you describe the screen, please, in detail? Is it bright, deep color saturation, are the fonts clear and legible and crisp, how is it in the sunlight, that sort of thing. So many reviews say 'great screen', but go into no detail, and I really want to know before I take this plunge. Much appreciate.

I don't have the problem. I'm not sure what the percentage is. If you can find another netbook that meets your needs, that's an option. I'm very happy with my choice.

I bought mine in November and I don't have any problem with screen blotches. No issues here...

I love my NC10. Good thing I never read about this problem, as it may have kept me away from this jewel. So far, I've had it running for many 10-hour continous runs and my screen is not only blotch free, but also free of burnt or white pixel problems. Knock on wood I guess. Now back to surfing on this wireless, bluetooth wonder! ;-)

I, too, am now experiencing this same problem, and I purchased my Samsung through a vendor other than Amazon. I guess I'm going to have to return my set, although I absolutely love everything else about it. I haven't talked to the Samsung technicians, but I'll be calling them later today.

I've had multiiple problems with this model. First I had the "white dot" problem. At first a few white dots show on the screen. Then every day there are more and more until the screen is a star field. The DLP chip had to be replaced to fix this. Then I had the problem you're describing. It wasn't the LED which lasts about 10 years (unlike the non-LED models which have a bulb that needs to be replaced every 3 years). It was either the motherboard or DMD board. I forget which, but I ended up paying $600 to have it fixed. It was out of warranty.

I didn't have that problem, but I did have a problem with the pixels on the left side of the screen. Had a vertical line that ran from top to bottom. It happened after 10 months, so it was still under warranty. Sorry I know that answer doesn't help you.

I have a Sony XBR5 no problems at all, perfect set. I watch a lot of sports the set is fantastic. Samsung is a great set also, but at the store I did see some issues with it. I have heard and read about the clouding problem in the past, but not on the new sets, it has been solved to my knowledge. XBR4/5 same great set. Sony and Samsung went on a joint venture with their panels, this means that both company's have the same panels (8th gen. panels). The only difference is the engine, I think in my opinion the Sony has more detail than the Samsung. At the same time we are nit picking, which ever one you like go with it and don't look back. Be happy with your choice, because there will always be a better set. FYI if you go with Samsung be sure it has the updated firmware, on the settings menu it should say "Oct2007". If it doesn't you can not update it, you will have to find another set that does. Check with Samsung for the current firmware update. Samsung "81 series" is the only set that I know of that you can update the firmware via the internet when available, this is a plus. Most company's don't guarantee blown pixals, some will say you need to have certain amount of pixals blown before they can exchange for a new one. Check out the extended coverage, make sure they cover blown pixals. Some people have had blown pixal problems, at the store they had a few sets with this problem including Sony and Samsung. I have read that a lot of people had customer service problems with Samsung less with Sony. I never had a problem with Sony's customer service in the past or their products. Pick the best set you like and forget everybody else, it's your set. ****HOPE THIS HELPS, GOOD LUCK****

I also called Samsung & they referred me to a local company. They want $90 just to come out but since we can't afford to fix it right now, we have been waiting. I have read a lot of people having this issue but samsung denied it. It's a shame that a fairly new tv is having such problems. I guess that they don't make them like they use to! Let me know if you get a tech out there & the outcome. I know mine will have to wait, no job, no money.

Thanks for your answer, JD! I thought so. Oh, I saw it at Best Buy--I was SO impressed with it. I wasn't even thinking Samsung until I saw it. Samsung has really outdone themselves with this one, I think! I haven't even read of any major problems with it yet, so that's encouraging! Keep me updated and let me know if there are any little bugs with the TV.

I had the same thing happen to my Samsung LN40A650 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV. THANK GOD, I have 6 days of warranty left. I have got the run around from Samsung reps. After a weeks worth of phone calls, I was assured that I will get my TV worked on under warranty. May be that this model is faulty. They should give us a hassle when we shell out mega bucks for these TVs, then they may would learn a bit of respect for the customer.

Hello guys. I am in the same boat . Torn between NC10 Special Edition and upcoming NC110. So I went to Samsung website. Difference is NC110 has glossy screen, HD audio according to the site . Everything else is same inc. ability to upgrade ram to 2gb and battery life. Hope this helps a little bit.

I had the same problem with one I bought around Christmas time. For that one I returned it. However, now my screen quit and I can't get tech help. At all. Nothing. If I had to do it over I'd return it and run.

Ours turns green and don't know what it is. It was green for three weeks and just yesterday came back in full color. I contacted Samsung after trying everything on my own and they said "it must be some internal parts" and offered to set me up with a repair man. I am still undecided if I am going to try to invest a couple hundred dollars in a repair or get a new TV. This is our third major problem with this TV, so I will probably purchase a different brand TV.

I had the same problem the TV started to flicker and the screen had vertical rainbow colored screen. Called support and they told me it was out of warranty and the TV never has this problem. After googling it it appears this is a problem with Samsung TV's. I bought a Sony instead. Threw the Samsung in the trash. Customer service was awful and they lied ever knowing about this problem. But once you google it it is a common consistent problem.

Yes he is correct. There are known issues with a certain firmware of this TV that shows crop circles on the TV. You can do a quick google search on this, people are talking about it in the AV Forums. So I think Samsung has stopped shipment of the TVs to apply the updates.

Jared, We had the exact same problem. Our TV is the older LN-S4051D, but I'm sure Samsung uses the same rubber feet on all models. We now have 4 dark circles on our brand new entertainment unit that absolutely will not come out. I talked to the owner of the store we bought the entertainment unit from, and he said this a common problem with any electronics that have rubber pads and that there is typically a caution against letting the pads come into contact with wood buried somewhere in the owner's manual. He also confirmed my worst fears when he said that nothing short of sanding and re-finishing the furniture will get rid of the stains. I checked my Samsung manual and found no precaution/warnings, so I plan on calling them and seeing what can be done.

We had problems with the screen when we got our unit - It was unusable. Clearly their quality control is lacking. I would suggest you return it. They will offer part credit, but if you insist, you can get full credit.

Glare is absolutely a NON issue.. screen is all matte and very effective. Having said that I am returning this product for reasons of other defects - ripples on the display starting from the bottom going all the way to the top. Very irritating!

Not sure when you have screen issues it may be time for a new one . Good luck
